湖南省2025届高三月考英语试卷（五）读后续写--纸递真情，石破窗后的原谅之约 讲义

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere friend. I have already forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper route when I was a twelve-year-old boy in Marinette, Wisconsin back in 1954. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday. On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady’s house from a secret spot in her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets（彗星）falling from the sky.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the old lady’s back porch. At the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old lady’s yard faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof.
I was so scared about getting caught that I was concerned about the old lady with the broken porch window all the time that night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her bad luck. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to look into her eyes.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.

文章大意
1954 年，12 岁的 “我” 在送报纸途中，和朋友在一位老妇人后院朝她家屋顶扔石头玩。“我” 扔出的一块光滑石头意外打破了她家后廊的窗户，之后 “我” 一直害怕被发现，又因给她带来损失而愧疚。经过思考，“我” 决定攒送报纸的钱赔偿，三周后凑够 7 美元，将钱装进信封并附上道歉纸条，准备弥补自己的过错。
故事山分析
目标：“我” 打破老妇人窗户后，希望通过赔偿来弥补过错，获得内心的安宁。
阻碍：一开始害怕被发现，不敢面对老妇人，后来凑钱也需要时间。
努力：“我” 每天送报纸攒钱，还写了道歉纸条。
结果：成功凑够钱准备赔偿，等待故事的进一步发展。
意外：目前还未出现，后续续写可能会有新的转折。
转弯：“我” 从害怕逃避到勇敢面对，决定赔偿，这是心态的转变。
结局：目前未知，需要续写完成。
伏笔以及在续写中的回应
老妇人一直微笑着和 “我” 打招呼：伏笔表明老妇人善良温和的性格。在续写中，老妇人可能会因为这份善良，以宽容的态度对待 “我” 的赔偿，比如在收到钱和纸条后，没有责怪 “我”，还可能会鼓励 “我”。
“我” 不敢看老妇人的眼睛：体现 “我” 内心的愧疚和不安。续写时，当 “我” 再次面对老妇人，可能会因为之前的愧疚而更加紧张，不敢直视她，但老妇人的反应或许会让 “我” 逐渐放松，敢于和她对视。
“我” 攒钱准备赔偿：暗示 “我” 想要弥补过错的决心。在续写中，这会是故事发展的重要基础，老妇人对 “我” 赔偿行为的回应，会推动故事走向不同结局，比如她可能拒收，也可能接受并表示感谢。
石头太光滑导致打破窗户：强调意外性。续写中可以借此突出事情的偶然性，老妇人可能会理解这是一场意外，从而更轻易地原谅 “我”。
“我” 一直关注老妇人是否发现窗户被打破：说明 “我” 心里一直有负担。在续写中，当 “我” 把钱给老妇人后，这个负担可能会随着老妇人的反应而减轻或加重，影响故事的情感走向。
续写要点（两段）
第一段：“I waited until it was dark.” 重点描写 “我” 在黑暗中前往老妇人家送赔偿信封时的心理活动，如紧张、忐忑，担心被发现又希望快点解决问题。描述送信封的过程，是偷偷放在门口还是鼓起勇气敲门递给她。
第二段：“The next day, I handed the old lady her paper.” 着重描写 “我” 和老妇人见面时的场景，她的表情、动作和言语，“我” 的反应，以及这件事对 “我” 产生的深远影响，比如 “我” 从她的宽容中学会了原谅他人的重要性。
情感线
起初，“我” 打破窗户后极度害怕被发现，内心充满恐惧。随着时间推移，确定未被发现后，“我” 开始为老妇人的损失感到愧疚，这一情感逐渐加深。在攒钱准备赔偿的过程中，“我” 的内心充满决心，想要弥补过错。送赔偿信封时，紧张和不安达到顶点。当第二天面对老妇人时，“我” 满心期待又害怕她的反应，直到她做出回应，“我” 的情感才会有新的变化，可能是如释重负，也可能是更加感动。

主旨升华句
This experience taught me that forgiveness has the power to heal not only the one who is forgiven but also the one who forgives, creating a cycle of kindness and understanding.
The old lady's act of forgiveness showed me that even in the face of unexpected mistakes, a heart full of compassion can turn a moment of guilt into a valuable lesson in life.
Through this incident, I learned that admitting our wrongs and taking responsibility is the first step towards redemption, and forgiveness is the bridge that mends broken relationships.
The story of the broken window and the old lady's forgiveness serves as a reminder that a simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on someone's life, teaching them the true meaning of humanity.
In the journey of life, we all make mistakes, but it is the forgiveness we receive and the forgiveness we offer that shape our character and make our world a better place.
写作示范
示范一
第一段：I waited until it was dark. With the envelope in my trembling hand, I quietly made my way to the old lady's house. My heart was pounding so hard that I was afraid she could hear it from inside. As I approached the front door, I hesitated for a moment, looking around to make sure no one was watching. Then, I took a deep breath and placed the envelope gently on the doorstep. Just as I was about to turn and leave, the door creaked open slightly. I froze, my eyes wide with fear.
第二段：The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. My hands were shaking, and I couldn't bring myself to meet her eyes. To my surprise, she smiled at me as usual and said, "Thank you for the money, dear. It was very kind of you." I looked up in astonishment, and she added, "Accidents happen. I'm just glad you're an honest boy." Her words made me feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. From that day on, I learned the power of forgiveness and the importance of being responsible for my actions.
示范二
第一段：I waited until it was dark. The night seemed to be filled with my anxiety as I walked towards the old lady's house. The streetlights cast long shadows, making me even more nervous. When I reached her house, I crouched down by the door, carefully slipping the envelope under it. As I did so, I heard a noise from inside, and my heart skipped a beat. I quickly stood up and hid behind a bush, waiting to see if anyone would come out. After a few tense moments, I decided it was safe to leave.
第二段：The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. I was expecting a scolding or a cold look, but instead, she gave me a warm hug. "Your honesty is more valuable than any window," she said softly. Her words touched my heart deeply. I realized that forgiveness was not just about letting go of anger but also about showing kindness and understanding. This experience changed me forever, and I promised myself to always be honest and to forgive others as the old lady had forgiven me.
【参考范文】
I waited until it was dark. Silently and secretly, I slipped into the yard of the old lady. I looked around and there was nothing but silence. Holding my breath, I got the envelope I didn’t sign jammed in her door. As I made my way out, the stone which had hung in my heart for three weeks was eventually gone. I sat on the ground in relief, staring at the sparkling stars smiling to me. I even looked forward to tomorrow’s arrival.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. Once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight into the old lady’s kind eyes. She greeted me warmly as usual. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. Reaching for the cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note saying, “I’m proud of you! ” I got to know it was the grace of forgiveness.
